Rudimental consists of songwriter & producer Piers Agget, songwriter Kesi Dryden and DJs Locksmith and Douglas. The quartet made their name in 2009 with the club anthem 'Sexy Sexy' featuring Natalie May on vocals. The video for 'Sexy Sexy' featured on MTV and registered over 100k hits on YouTube. With dubstep's impressive crossover into the midst of mainstream music, 'Speeding' has brought an innovative urban approach to the UK bass music scene. With its effortlessly sensual vocals from the beautiful Adiyam accompanied by a speaker-shattering bassline, 'Speeding' is undeniably a dancefloor filler. It's perfect for the Summer with its relaxed, breezy attitude that takes you in after just one spin. Also watch this space for the exclusive video for 'Speeding' coming soon. Black Butter have drafted in some of the hottest and most exciting talent around to complete this package.

Croydon's own Swindle gets 2011 off to a great start with his first release on the grime label of the moment, Butterz. The funk-obsessed producer delivers an exercise in dark half-step on the title tune 'Mood Swings' with all the funky riffs and synths that fans of 'Airmiles' have grown to love since he debuted with that track on Planet Mu. 'Bebop' is a more light-hearted affair with chopped-up vocoder vocal samples coupled with subtle piano keys fading in and out between the up-tempo beat pattern. 'Trending Topic' is one for lovers of Starkey and Terror Danjah alike, as it combines the organic energy of grime with the quirkiness of Swindle's funk influenced synth patterns. Having already gained support from Starkey, Alexander Nut, Scratcha DVA and DJ Q, the 'Mood Swings EP' is shaping up to be yet another instant classic from Swindle and the Butterz label.
